Sewage Problem Prompts Early School Release

North Hampton School released its students an hour early Monday afternoon because a blocked septic system pipe rendered the bathrooms unusable, according to the Hampton Union.

The school was closed because the facilities weren't usable "until the blockage was cleared," according to the paper, which said the school is open today.

Principal Peter Sweet reportedly told the Hampton Union on Monday that the pipe that was blocked was the one that connected the building to the school's septic system.
